　　One of China’s Four Famous Stones (Ying Stone)

　　 Ying Stone is one of China’s four most renowned ornamental garden stones, alongside Taihu Stone, Lingbi Stone, and Yellow Wax Stone. It originates from the Ying Mountain range, located 25 kilometers northeast of Yingde City, hence the name “Ying Stone.” Formed through centuries of weathering and sedimentation of limestone, Ying Stone features delicate translucence and intricate, varied textures, characterized by the traits of being “slender, wrinkled, porous, and translucent.” A Ying Stone market has been established in Wangbu Town at the foot of Ying Mountain to serve stone enthusiasts.
